Yet substantial waste!...

an invisible weight on his back
his provisions all in a sack
  Had he ever paused
  to sing a song
as he made his rounds begging life long...

provisions we may need in our life, 

God

In a age of provisions
Dealt with meager hands

Gone are the lucent
A briskness of night impounds

Vast altercations sever the thread
The youth population carries our debts....

winter feast scarce
	rapacious wolf snuffles snow ~

Blessed, here in the first world 
I awaken to a warm room 
Running water, clean clothes 
And a rich abundance of food, 
All the provisions that I need.

Sometimes it rains;
Inside your mind;
Uncertain realms entwined;
When's moving blind;
Opened  visions;
Lost provisions gained;
As it yet stills rains in my mind

snow and ice
wind chill 
seeing my breath

slippery driveway
scared to leave
no problem; lots of provisions

dog refuses to go out
decides to hold bladder all day
I roll my eyes

cat takes a step
backs up
when did we get so prissy?...

we were both shipwrecked
but you are lost to me
you raft is drifting away
with all my provisions
you are turning into nothing more
than a speck on the horizon
leaving me here with only a memory
to keep me company
through these lonely days...

demon allure coaxing me near
to a place inhabited
roadside flare

with ample provisions
action follows suit
distress, undressed with motive too

rustic claw piercing
tetanus thighs
sullied my hands and bolstered a lie

absolved of blame
i return unchanged...

God’s compassion* magnified

Christ’s meekness intensified

Lord’s provisions fortified

…I yield; pride… defied!

*Psalm 86:15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

What lies beyond?
Far over yonder,
What? You wonder,
And you ponder.

Is it lush like dreams?
A land esteemed?
Or arid and bleak,
Lacking even a creek?

Provisions you gather,
Prepare to wander,
Onwards you saunter,
Go forth and discover!

the days go by so fast
that tomorrow's almost passsed 
Too many decisions, to provide your provisions 
So 
Take a drink cuz quick as a wink, life can be a blink 
So 
Take each moment like it was your last 
Before you know it it'll be passed 
So 
Don't ya live too fast 
Don't ya live too fast...

Hate is circling like a starving vulture over the heads of the innocent 

Waiting for the war to unleash its accumulated wrath of destruction 

Providing death with an unlimited supply of provisions to devour 

While love has taken cover fearing to express her concern with a ROAR!

God has steadied
   Many provisions'
To shape my belief'
      ... And

With comfort along the

And fulfill my needs'
In the adversity of

'Tis no collusion in the collision
  or delusion in the decision

But the effusion of elision
  in the intrusion of the incision

Accents the protrusion of provisions
  in the suffusion of supervision 

By which diffusion of division
  in the exclusion of excision --

All goes to show
  the profusion of confusion
    ~ in this here revision!...

To fast is to have patients.  To fast is to be strong and not do wrong. 
To fast is to be pious and firm in your iman.  To fast is to feel grateful, for the provisions 
Allah has bestowed upon me.

To fast is to seek forgivness, to repent for the wrong I have done.  
To fast is to feel furfilled.

The thirty days of ramadan make me strong spiritually and morally....

Apples ripen pink, hotly blushing,
though the ardent yellow sun grows faint;
blackbirds sucking soft honeyed sweetness.
like babies at breast, show no restraint.

Mellow ripeness splays rich-toned color;
the trees raise scarlet armed applause.
Red-brown and gray, small creatures hurry
stowing provisions for winter's pause.

Shop bells tinkling from eight 'til late
queuing customers having to wait;
Thursday,closing at noon
opportunity to court and spoon.

Collection boxes built into walls,
gossiping ladies in their shawls;
Bells pealing on the hour,
drays pulled by one horse power.

Factory hooters' blowing
Morning cockrels' crowing;
Cycle bells a-ringing,
Provisions from vans' a-bringing....

I greet you with my canary tweet
Sweet midst liberty your meow can’t beat
Let’s have duet now
For sure, it’s a wow…
Along melody of freedom treat. 

Midst table manners and etiquette’s best
We do practice lofty standard with zest 
As giraffes of dining flair
Wasting no food as we share
Thanking provisions’ source; feeling so blest....

A staff in hand
Sandals on his feet
A backpack of provisions
He departed that morning
Towards the first settlement
Towards the rising sun
Said he wanted to make it
To the eastern gate pass
Exit our realm 
Into the first settlement
They calmly reminded him
The path was blocked 
By the seraphim
With flaming swords
But he claimed the gate
Was now open
For the elect to gain entry...

Hate,

Is circling like a starving vulture over the hearts of the innocent

Waiting

For the war to unleash its accumulated wrath of destruction

Providing thus

An unlimited supply of provisions for warmongers to devour,

While love,

Frightened, has taken cover,

Fearing to express her concern for peace with a

ROAR!
